Abstract
[EN] For most of the 20th century the totalitarian regimes of Franco in Spain (1939-1975) and
Salazar in Portugal (1933-1974) influenced Spanish and Portuguese cultural production, and
theatre life in particular. Both dictatorships are the backdrop against which the study of
theatrical culture on Iberian stages will be tackled in this contribution by gauging the role of
censorship in favouring or opposing the importation of foreign (Irish) drama.
